Studio Sevens specifically aim to reconsider the way we do housing here in the UK and support alternative development approaches. Here in the South East of England this often means working to reduce the cost of housing construction, making homes affordable to both buy and to live in, and providing alternatives to the current rental and ownership options. With this focus Ian was central to the establishment of the Brighton & Hove Community Land Trust which aims to enable Community Led Housing development across the city by providing access to land in collaboration with the local authority.
